This should be looked into...it would provide a way for us to support
import * without doing brute-force searches every time or adding
const_missing hooks. Anyone care to have a look at it?

Hi Charles (and jvm-languages),
I while back you had requested that we (the Jython folks) try to
extract out the caching mechanism that Jython uses. I've done a rough
extraction (basically I replaced all of the PyList and other
pythonisms with Java List and other Java-isms and removed any links
into Jython's core. I've dummied out the class representing a
JavaPackage. This is very rough and is in no way threadsafe or for
that matter safe for any purpose :) -- but it does create the cache
files for jars the way Jython does. To try it out check it out from
here:
https://jython.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/jython/trunk/sandbox/wierzbicki/packagecache
It has a simple ant file that builds the java classes. It also has
two test directories, one for jython and one for jruby (src/jython and
src/jruby) with a test.py and test.rb. Both test directories contain
an empty "jars" directory. If you put some jars in the "jars"
directory and run the tests a "cachedir" gets generated and cache
files are produced from the jars. I haven't gotten around to testing
the mechanism for actually using the cache -- so that part could be
completely broken, but the cache files produced from the jars are
exactly the same (at least for the handful of jars that I studied) as
those produced by Jython.
